Students enrolled in Marshall University\u2019s ART 481, Special Topics: Museum Curatorial Practice, course have collaborated with the Juliet Art Museum at the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences, to create the exhibition,\u00a0re<\/em>collection. This exhibition will open during\u00a0Art After Dark<\/em>, planned for 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, April 18, following the Downtown Charleston Art Walk.\u00a0 The opening reception will include free admission to the Juliet Art Museum and the opportunity to meet and discuss the exhibition with students, faculty and Clay Center staff.<\/p>\n

The students have each selected one piece of art from the Juliet Art Museum\u2019s permanent collection and created their own piece of art in response to their chosen work, together these works comprise the exhibition. Jessica O\u2019Hearn, artistic director and curator of the Juliet Art Museum, proposed this project in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a wonderful collaboration with Marshall University and the budding curators of the Curatorial Practice course. It\u2019s been inspiring to see the students rise up to the challenge of creating this exhibition. The work they have done individually and as a class has been rewarding to us all,\u201d said O\u2019Hearn.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time that we\u2019ve been able to offer a course like this to Marshall\u2019s art students,\u201d said Sandra Reed, a faculty member in the School of Art and Design at Marshall University and professor of the special topics course that has produced this exhibition. \u201cOf its many values, the experience is helping students to understand the complex decision-making behind the display of work in any setting. They are learning to ask, \u2018Who decides what is shown where by whom?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Marshall art students are excited to share their selections and new work with the patrons of the Juliet Art Museum. The students\u2019 artwork showcases the diverse skills that they have developed through Marshall\u2019s art program. The works are individualized interpretations that may relate to their chosen work from the permanent collection in concept or form yet depart in surprising and delightful ways from that work\u2019s scale or media.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be able to choose what is shown is empowering,\u201d said Marshall student Sa-Rai Robinette, a junior in printmaking from Flatwoods, Kentucky.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the opportunity to have my work in the Juliet Art Museum, I\u2019ve pushed myself to make sure my work is meaningful, innovative, and professional,\u201d said Megan Taylor, a graphic design student from Gilbert, West Virginia.<\/p>\n

re<\/em>collection will be on display in the Juliet Art Museum through July 14. While on site, guests will also have the opportunity to view the Juliet Art Museum Invitational, also on display, featuring over 30 West Virginia artists in different media. Admission to the Juliet Art Museum is $9 for adults and $7.50 for children.\u00a0 Admission also includes access to the Avampato Discovery Museum at the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences.\u00a0 For more information about exhibitions and programming at the Clay Center, visit online at\u00a0www.theclaycenter.org<\/a>\u00a0or call the box office at 304-561-3570.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
